If you had the slightest doubt remaining that the January 6 Committee was putting on a show trial, new information should lay those doubts to rest. We now know that Liz Cheney’s committee suppressed evidence exonerating Donald Trump of the charge that he intentionally fomented a riot and then lied about the facts in that suppressed evidence.
According to Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist:
Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now.
Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the committee was conducted on January 28, 2022. In it, he told Cheney and her investigators that he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as she needed to protect the city.
He also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6, 2021. Ornato also described White House frustration with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021.
Of course, as we’re learning, these kinds of fundamental lies from the “get Trump” crowd are nothing new. For example, if you go looking for it, it’s a matter of public record that Fani Willis visited the Biden White House on February 24, 2023. That was six months before her carefully selected Grand Jury indicted Trump (and grand juries will indict a ham sandwich if told to do so). However, on the stand and under oath, Willis denied having visited the White House:
